Musk is pushing for drastic federal budget cuts targeting programs for vulnerable populations

Billionaire cuts services for the poor. Bears continue to shit in the woods. What next? The sun rises in the morning?

But for people who those are features, they are very likely to be Muslim or at the least Arabic

Uh, I don't think so. Perhaps very specifically the religious laws, but besides that you don't have to look far among westerners to find those for whom...

man’s arrogance, literal slaves, rampant misogyny, homophobia [...] one of the hottest places in the world and extremely expensive

... are rather a nice prospect, actually.

Can't scare me out of my vicious business practices with a threat of assassination if I hate myself so much I want to die 😎

I think a major issue is that if the corporation cannot find work for all of its employees, how will it pay them? And since, presumably, there will be admin staff required who also need to be paid, the amount this corporation will charge the employers of the workers will have to be more than is paid to the workers. If this amount is significant, employers can poach employees from the "union corp" by offering more money, while still saving themselves money.

The only part I disagree with is stone/pounds for people's weight. Although we use stone, I've never heard someone use pounds... Maybe if you're in Weight Watchers or something, but otherwise it'd be rounded to the nearest half a stone (e.g. 9 and a half stone)

Sounds utterly weird, but I'm intrigued

Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it's actually about.

A "public company" is one that has shares that are publicly traded. Common terminology, but yes it is confusing compared to private vs state ownership.

Edit: you're right though, using "privatisation" is doubly confusing... That's not so common. Perhaps that's what you meant!

Alternatively if you can really make the pasta gather an internal sphere of liquid, just cook it in sauce and it could actually be amazing.

But hark! Another track appears beside the river. Surely this will be the easier route? Surely this will not lead to yet another bridge, larger and more difficult to cross than the last? Yes, indeed, I shall take this alternative track, that I might find myself easier bridges to cross.

It depends how much boiling water you need per day. Unless you use a LOT it's more efficient (cost/energy wise) to use a kettle. Plus there's a significant upfront cost to install a boiling water tap. However, if you drink a shitload of tea, or use a lot of boiling water in cooking, it's generally better to have the on tap option.

Seriously cool piece of kit! I have no use for it whatsoever, but can't help but wish I did.

 

As is, once a post is solved it's revealed in the name, but this means you can't then try to guess already solved posts - only new ones. If we reveal the answer in a spoiler in the post body instead, the sub's historical posts will remain playable for new players to practice.

Tricky to explain exactly. Sometimes the comment button goes straight to adding a new comment rather than the post's comments. To reach the comments I have to press it again. But because it's not consistent sometimes I have to press it several times to reach the actual comments.
